HAPPY 143nd BIRTHDAY CANADA!

Canada Day is one of our favourite days to celebrate.  It brings family and friends together to celebrate what a truly amazing country we live in.  It celebrates culture, arts, our past victories, and our present ones to come.  It is our biggest nationally celebrated holiday involving every single member of our Country because let’s face it who isn’t proud to be Canadian!  This year we will be celebrating our day in Coquitlam, where the festival never seizes to be entertaining.  Coquitlam has a long list of events going on at one of Coquitlam’s finest location of Lafarge Lake and Evergreen Cultural Centre.  The events include different sporting activities at “Adventure Village”, several art activities, multiple art performances with several stages, our favourite “Taste of Coquitlam” event in the Lafarge Dining tent, and the must have finale of fireworks.
